Hello Fastlaners!
Let me first state, the title "Selfpublishing God" was given to me by people from another community (in Germany). That being said, humility is not my strong suit
Like most, my story is quite long, but you're all busy, so I make it short.
Last year in April I came back from a backpacking trip, basically broke and went back into my old job as waiter. I couldn't stand in anymore and wanted to leave my home country, Germany, again. As soon as possible. Permanently, with a decent online-income.
Some fruitless weeks with 12-hour working days later, I partnered up with a guy who did self-publishing. He started it in April last year and I joined him in June. He was doing pretty well already, but wanted to scale the business. We got along very well and complimented each others skills and ideas. Since then we published over 200 books, all in German.
The business was doing really well, but for different reasons we will part ways by the end of this year.
After hitting 3k/month I noticed that money is not a big motivation for me. 3k gives me a luxury lifestyle where I live (Thailand). So I basically stopped working for the last couple of months and enjoyed the benefits of passive income.
After listening to Rich Dad, Poor Dad and then The Millionaire Fastlane I feel motivated again to work and go after more money. Not for more luxury, but more freedom and security. I want to come to a point in my life, where I can, if I want to, stop working and not have to think about earning money ever again.
That doesn't mean I do not want to work, it just means I want to choose freely when, on what and for which purpose I will work on something.
P.S. If anyone is in Bangkok, let me know.
